After his death due to a heart condition in 1989, his daughter and grandson packed him in dry ice and shipped him to a U.S. cryonics facility for eventual reanimation. In 1993, they moved Grandpa to Nederland, Colo. in hopes to start their own cryonic facility. Twenty-one years later, he is still sheltered in a Tuff Shed, where dry ice, brought by Bo the Ice man, keeps him frozen and preserved. See full schedule: www.frozendeadguydays.org.
